a car with huge tyres will not make ruts any deeper than a car with small tyres, assuming the ground is good, as is the majority of lanes.
ok you might come across a boggy area when laning, but if we're being pedantic you shouldnt drive it anyway!
the problem with laning and aggressive tyres is that spinning it up nmakes a big mess, whereas road tyres just spin.
i went laning recently with a 90 on stock size bfg muds, a 110 with 33x12.5 muds, a disco on stock size insas, a 90 on 285/75 inss and mine on 33x12.5 muds
not one of use make any different track to the other, because we didnt need to spin it up at all, as we werent getting stuck.
its daft to say that you shouldnt go abobe stock size on lanes becuase the majority of the bad ruts are made by tractors, which have huge tyres as we all know.
tbh an aggressive tyre would probably cause less trouble driving through crefully than the same car on stock tyres trying its best to get through the same section guns blazing.
the loud pedal ****s up green lanes, not your tyre choice.

I gotta agree with you. I'll often go through muddy places on tickover and my tyre pattern is clearly imprinted in the mud. A vehicle on road tyres or A/T's will often not leave any prints but will leave ruts/churn up the mud instead. I find my aggressive tyres are often LESS damaging than less aggressive tyres. You also have to remember that most A/T tyres will not offer the same lateral grip as more aggresive tyres.
